Episode 4: What is Vacant Possession anyway?

Most people think vacant possession simply means the seller has moved out. In this episode of Pen-Pod, we explore one of the most common causes of settlement day disputes and explain why vacant possession is about much more than empty rooms.

Episode 3: If You Could Turn the House Upside Down

What exactly are you buying when you purchase a property? In this episode of Pen-Pod, Paula explore’s one of the most common causes of confusion in conveyancing, the difference between fixtures and chattels. From wall-mounted televisions to pizza ovens and EV chargers, discover why it’s not always obvious what stays with the property and what doesn’t.

Episode 2: Every property has a story—but how do you uncover it?

In this episode of Pen-Pod, Paula explores why the contract is much more than paperwork, and how specialist property lawyers use it to uncover the hidden legal story behind a property, helping clients make informed decisions with confidence.

Episode 1: Every Property Has a Story

When you buy a property, you’re not just getting the keys.

You’re inheriting its history, its legal rights and obligations, and sometimes surprises that don’t become apparent until after settlement.

In our very first episode of the Pen-Pod, Paula Roberts, Law Society Accredited Specialist in Property Law, explores why good conveyancing is about so much more than paperwork—and how understanding a property’s story can help you avoid costly mistakes.
